Research Roundtables

Research Roundtable Summaries


At the China-U.S. Relations Conference held in Beijing in November 2005, a series of research roundtable sessions provided open forums for scientists from China and the United States to discuss the newest scientific and technological advances important to both countries. The roundtable sessions addressed the critical role of scientific and research collaboration between the two countries, effective methods of scientific and technological cooperation, and major obstacles in scholarly exchanges. Various locations in Beijing served as hosts for the sessions, including Peking University, the China University of Geosciences, the National Academy of Educational Administration, the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the Hotel Kunlun.

Roundtable session topics were selected by a rigorous submittal and review process and were co-chaired by Chinese and American scholars. Conference participants from around the world contributed to the discussions on collaborative research opportunities in various strategic areas, as follows:


  • Altered Landscape and Environmental Response to Transformations (ALERT)-2: Coastal Monitoring, Preservation, and Restoration
  • China Archive/China Survey
  • China-U.S. Collaboration on Green Food and Agro-Produce Pathway (GFP) to Expedite Bi-lateral and International Agro-Trades
  • Critical Roles and Administrative Competencies in Building Institutional Research Capacity
  • Crop Improvement through Biotechnologies (CITB)
  • Deepwater Offshore Technology
  • East Asia and the United States in the Age of Globalization
  • Emerging Infectious Diseases in China
  • Environmental Concerns and Birth Defects Research in China
  • Gender Policy and HIV in China
  • Higher Education Intellectual Property Rights and Technology Transfer
  • Information Technologies and Applications
  • Learning and Growth of New Technology Ventures in China's High Technology Industries
  • Quality of Life Issues in Contemporary Chinese Cities: The Impacts of Rapid Growth and Change in the Form of Neighborhoods and Housing
  • The Role of Non-Conventional Hydrocarbons in Meeting the Growing Energy Demand
  • Treatment of Eye Diseases with Chinese Herbs and Their Active Principles
  • Wetland Conservation, Nature-Based Tourism, and Rural Economic Development
